TAG and Government Affairs

The Technology Association of Georgia is committed to working with federal, state, and local elected officials to advance sound public policies that strengthen Georgia’s technology ecosystem and support Vision 2030: Georgia as a Global Hub of Innovation.

To serve our growing membership base of more than 30,000, TAG’s government relations efforts will focus on industry education for lawmakers and timely General Assembly updates for TAG members.

TAG advanced mission-critical advocacy on behalf of our members during the 2024 session of the Georgia General Assembly – championing funding for workforce development statewide, advocating for computer science education, and serving as your voice at the state capitol on issues shaping the technology sector.
